PORTABLE LIQUID IN-TANK VISCOMETERS VM-250 SERIES
Portable Submersible Viscometers VM-250.1 and VM-250.2 are best suited for liquid viscosity and temperature measurements directly in the storage or process tanks (up to 30 meters depth). No labor extensive and errors critical sampling required. Instead, the sensors of VM-250.1 and VM-250.2 are submersed at any required level and record spot viscosity and real temperature at that point directly in the liquid. The operation personal can get in minutes the average viscosity in the tank and its viscosity / temperature / level profile, for example, at every meter. VM-250.3 is best for situation when VM-250.1 and VM-250.2 could not be installed. Just take some hundreds mililitres of sample and give results in seconds! Hundreds of measurements can be stored locally and future transferred to a PC or printer via built-in bluetooth connectivity. Backlighted LCD facilitates nighttime operation.
Viscosity determination directly in the tanks is faster, easier, more precise and cost effective comparing with conventional technique requiring sampling and use of glass capillary viscometers by qualified personal in laboratory. That is why the portable viscometer from LEMIS process have found wide application, first of all in oil industry upstream and downstream operations where control of quality (viscosity) of petroleum products at movement and storage is very critical.
New age of LEMIS process combined meters measure various critical parameters: density, concentration, dynamic viscosity, kinematic viscosity, temperature. Two meters in one device saving cost of installation and maintenance!

New: For the first time ever, you can use the same device to work with “pressure“ or “suction“. This gives you more flexibility and better adjustment to the liquids to be examined.
The ViscoSystem ® AVS 470 is a measuring system that includes everything you need to take precise and reproducible measurements without a PC. All common types of viscosity calculation are integrated into the device, a small PS2 keyboard is all you need to enter additional data. A serial printer can be used to document your measuring results. Virtually all customary capillary viscometers can be used.
With the ViscoSystem® AVS 370 you are perfectly equipped for all tasks involved in determining viscosity. PC-controlled, the AVS 370 determines the time which the liquid to be examined requires to flow through the measuring distance in the capillary viscometer. Measurement of the flow time of the liquid’s meniscus can be scanned optoelectronically or with TC sensors thus enabling viscosity measurement of clear fluids through to black or fully opaque liquids. If necessary, the system can be extended to form a multiple measuring station with PC-controlled multi-tasking. The WinVisco 370 software enables parallel operation of two fully equipped AVS 370, with a total of eight ViscoPump II modules.
